What costs extra
Transparency here matters more than a low headline rate. These are the only things that add to your bill, and each is quoted upfront before you confirm:
| Add-on | Typical cost (AED) |
|---|---|
| Live BBQ package (per person) | 150 |
| Premium catering / chef service | from 250 per person |
| Jet ski (30 minutes) | 350 |
| Birthday or proposal decoration | 500 |
| Professional photographer | 750 |
| DJ and premium sound setup | 1,200 |
| Extra hour beyond booked time | Standard hourly rate |
How duration affects the price
The minimum charter in Dubai Marina is 2 hours — this is a marina-wide standard, not an operator policy, and it exists because the standard sightseeing route takes roughly 90 minutes at cruising speed.
Longer bookings cost less per hour:
| Duration | Discount on hourly rate |
|---|---|
| 2 hours | Standard rate |
| 3 hours | 5% off |
| 4 hours (half day) | 10% off |
| 8 hours (full day) | 15% off |
When you'll pay more (and when you'll pay less)
Season. Dubai's prime yachting season runs from November through April, when temperatures are mild and the water is calm. Rates are highest in this window, particularly around New Year's Eve and UAE National Day. Summer months from June to September see softer pricing and better availability.
Day of the week. Friday and Saturday slots carry a premium across Dubai Marina — typically 15–20% above weekday rates. Sunday through Wednesday is where the value is.
Time of day. Sunset slots (roughly 4pm–7pm depending on the month) are the most requested and the first to sell out. Morning departures are calmer, cheaper and often better for photography.
How far ahead you book. Peak-season weekend sunset slots are frequently gone two to three weeks out. Booking early is the single easiest way to pay less.

Working out your cost per person
Private yachts in Dubai are priced per vessel, not per head. To find your real per-person cost:
(Hourly rate × hours) ÷ number of guests
The Ammos 50 at AED 750 per hour, booked for 3 hours with 18 guests, works out at roughly AED 125 per person — comparable to a decent dinner in Dubai Marina, for a private boat with a crew.
The maths only works in your favour when the yacht is reasonably full. Two people on a 62 ft yacht pay the same total as twenty. If you're a couple, book small — you'll get a better experience and a much lower bill.
Choosing the right size (and not overpaying)
The most common and most expensive mistake is booking a bigger yacht than the group needs.
- 2–8 guests: the Pearl 48 is plenty. There is deck space, shade, a cabin and a bathroom.
- 10–18 guests: step up to the Ammos 50. This is the sweet spot for birthdays.
- 20–30 guests: the Onyx 90 or Bella Vita 66 gives you room to move and space for catering.
- 30+ guests: you need the Onyx 90 or Crown 90, and you should book well ahead.
Bigger is not automatically better. A well-specified 62 ft yacht can feel more premium than a tired 80 ft one — condition, interior and crew matter more than length. If you're unsure, send us your guest count and we'll recommend the smallest vessel that comfortably fits, not the largest one we can sell you.
Why book direct
A large share of Dubai Marina yacht listings online are broker pages, not operators. Booking through a broker adds a commission to your rate and introduces the risk of a vessel swap on the day, because the broker doesn't control the boat.
Booking direct with Yacht Street Dubai means the price you're quoted is the price you pay, the yacht in the photos is the yacht at the berth, and the person answering your WhatsApp is the person who can actually confirm availability.
Frequently asked questions

If the Coast Guard advises against sailing, we will contact you in advance and you can either reschedule at no cost or receive a full refund of your deposit.
